keep on thinking about porsche willingness to quench speculation, don't see the reason for such a statement, max. 2000 units means everything from 1 to 2000 cars

Whoa. This is interesting news... have always suspected a run of about that number (think 7.2 RS'es are a hair under 2k WW despite the noise floating around). What's noteworthy here is this may well be the first time PAG came out with a clear production cap on a non-limited-production car...

2000 cars WW sounds pretty good. And if 2000 are sold later this year I'm guessing we will see some more allocations showing up in the spring.......

I know probably what you mean...but unforunately on the Speciale the extra gain in power is just 5 hp according to their official statements...So I don't expect that RS will gain too much from those air intakes..
